The comic artwork of Ryan Claytor.

I’m excited to announce that I recently completed an ambitious T-shrit design (4-locations, with up to 7-color prints in each location) for the largest pinball machine manufacturer in the world, Stern Pinball. Please click to enlarge this next image:

It’s a sequential/comic-book style shirt that tells a brief narrative. The Dia de los Muertos themed story starts on the back with the group of skeletons playing a pinball machine and wondering where they can get more. “The guy” with the pinball machines is somewhere else, so they go searching.

Move to the left sleeve print and you see a group of skeletons begin to locate him.

On the front of the shirt, they’ve located “the guy,” who is company figurehead, Gary Stern. This front print is also a thinly-veiled advertisement for the company.

Finally, if you proceed to the right sleeve print, you’ll find the 3 principal designers (from left to right, John Trudeau, Steve “The King of Flow” Ritchie, and John Borg) all huddling in the bushes fearing that Gary Stern will inadvertantly lead the skeletons in their direction.

I had a ton of fun producing this illustrated shirt for Stern and hope others will enjoy wearing them. You can purchase your own by heading to the Stern company store right here.
